I am glad everyone is ok but what is the deal with all the wrecks in San Angelo and a large part of them are caused by people not yielding the right of way. You are not going to get there any faster so just so down and pay attention. I hate going to work in the mornings. People do not know how to yield at yield signs especially the one just before you get to Central High School if your on the service road and they once past the yield sign they sure don't know what mph is either.
